I am new to all these things. Can some one tell me how to become a member of frequent flyer. I have a westpac altitude card. How can i earn more points? How can i convert my points to frequent flyer points? Can I use westpac points to some other programs other than FF?

You can sign up for the Earth credit card offered through Westpac and they will give you a free membership to the qantas FF scheme. the annual c.c. fee is waived for the first year too. you do earn points with the card but probably not as many as your altitude card. Just cancel the earth card after a few months once your membership is setup if you don't want the card. I still have mine but i didn't see anything in the T&C saying you couldn't cancel in the first year.

From Altitude: "Points earned on transactions from the 9th March 2004 will be redeemed for frequent flyer points at a ratio of 1:0.5. For example, this means that 20,000 Altitude points will convert to 10,000 frequent flyer points". Min 500 Altitude points per transfer = 250 FF points.

Yes you can transfer Altitude points to Qantas, Air NZ or Malaysia programs.

Your Altitude Mastercard will generate 0.5 points per $ spent. Your Altitude American Express will generate 1 point per $ spent, these being for the QFF program. I'm not sure what the redemption rate is for other programmes.

A bit OT but FYI we had recent problems with both Ciibank Debit and our 28 degree cards while OS. Firstly, neither of our Citibank ATM Pins would work to get cash on arrival in Milan (LIN) despite me having done a test withdrawal just before we left. Don't know why but it was most annoying to get an error message from the 3 different ATMs…

Welcome to AFF.
I don't know about Qantas sales ex-Singapore, but make sure you sign up to the Red-emails so you're notified if/when the next one is announced.
For the SIN-MEL route, have you considered Emirates?…

I will be arriving at Change from Perth on Scoot at 1:30am, departing on JL at 8:10 the same day in Business. I know I'll have to retrieve my luggage and get to T1.
My plan then is to go to the Premier Check In Lounge in T1, check in my luggage then rest in the lounge until boarding time.
Is this a good plan / doable ? I have dismissed…
